man dhcpd says, variously, the following:

(a) In the section "COMMAND LINE",

The names of the network interfaces on which dhcpd should listen
for broadcasts may be specified on the command line. [...] If
no interface names are specified on the command line dhcpd will
identify all network interfaces which are up [...] and listen for
DHCP broadcasts on each interface.


(b) In the section CONFIGURATION,

The syntax of the dhcpd.conf(5) file is discussed separately. This
section should be used as an overview of the configuration process,
and the dhcpd.conf(5) documentation should be consulted for detailed
reference information.


The referenced man page for dhcpd.conf says:

Declarations are used to describe the topology of the network, to
describe clients on the network, to provide addresses that can be
assigned to clients, or to apply a group of parameters to a group
of declarations.


On my Debian box (admittedly not openSUSE, about which I have no
information) there's even an example file under /usr/share/doc/ that
includes the sort of thing you need.


Seems pretty clear to me.

So why don't you tell us what you tried, and what didn't worked?

Obviously, you did something wrong, byt you can't figure out what,
so tell us what you did instead of asking for a ready-to-eat-meal.

I agree. Linux supporters are full of idiots pretending they know
something when all they can do is spout "read the man pages".

But did you read the man page of dhcpd?

It says:

Subnets
dhcpd needs to know the subnet numbers and netmasks of all subnets for which it will be providing
service. In addition, in order to dynamically allocate addresses, it must be assigned one or more
ranges of addresses on each subnet which it can in turn assign to client hosts as they boot. Thus,
a very simple configuration providing DHCP support might look like this:

subnet 239.252.197.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 239.252.197.10 239.252.197.250;
}


So, my dear friend, you need to have two "subnet" clauses!!!
